5. Does the Mavic Air support precision landing? How will it be triggered?
Yes. Precision Landing function is subject to the following:
1. The Home Point is recorded when taking-off and cannot not be refreshed during flight.
2. The aircraft takes off vertically (10 m).
Terrain Feature Detection:
The aircraft takes off and flies 30 m above the ground. When the aircraft flies within 20 m from the Home Point, the senor will scan the terrain. When the current terrain matches with the Home Point's terrain, the aircraft will land.
When the aircraft is beyond 20 m away from the Home Point, press the RTH button on the remote controller or tap the RTH button in the app, the aircraft will return to home, match with the image information from takeoff, move horizontally, or yaw to change its nose direction to achieve precision landing.
When the aircraft is landing, use the remote controller to control the following:
1. Pull the throttle stick downward to increase the descending speed.
2. Pulling the throttle stick upward or moving the control stick in any direction will stop Precision Landing. The aircraft will descend vertically and the Landing Protection will remain active.
6. What is the Mavic Air's Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS) function?
With Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS) enabled, the aircraft will auto plan the flight route when encountering an obstacle. Users can push the pitch stick forward or backward, and the aircraft will fly around the obstacle. If the aircraft cannot go around the obstacle, it will hover in place. Do not fly the aircraft over small obstacles or in a narrow area as APAS may not function normally.
7. How many photos are taken in a Mavic Air panoramic photo?
It is not recommended to fly the aircraft close to the water (within 2 m from the water). When flying above the water, the vision positioning function will turn off automatically and only the GPS and barometer are used for positioning. The aircraft may even drop into the water.
5. Can I fly the Mavic Air through a window?
It is not recommended to fly the aircraft through a window. The aircraft cannot fly stably when the compass is interfered with or the GPS signal is poor due to a reflective glass or the steel structure of a building.
